I found one mistake : during the installation, I've overwritten file cacti/lib/tree.php with your tree.php

I've restored my tree.php in order to try to solve my issue.
So I now have 2 files : my old cacti/lib/tree.php and your cacti/tree.php. Is it ok like this ?
I have no more errors in http error_log.

However I still can't create PDF reports :(
I create a report with nmidCreatePDF and add graps to this report.
Then I generate my pdf report, but the result is a file named \.pdf containing only "<b>FPDF error:</b> Undefined font: B"

Do you have any idea in order to help me please ?

you should try using the mpdf report engine available from urban-software.de. its under the download section of the corporate edition. download it and unzip the file to the ReportEngine dir. you can then change the engine in the nmid settings page

Sorry for the delay, I was really busy...

It's working now :D :D :D
I had a bad parameter in the settings.

A great thanks for your help, and for this plugin !!!

Great to know it's working now :-)

Would you mind telling what bad parameter it was ? In case someone else does have the same error message as you had.

The field "PHP binary path" was empty in the nmid settings... :oops:

I have a new question : the archive management is not available for free version ? Because I don't have the item "Manage Archive" in the nmid menu (in the admin console ), I only have "Manage Reports".

Ahh, interesting error message then ...

Nevertheless Archiving is an additional Features for the Professional and Corporate Edition. Look at the very first post of this thread for the feature list.

For prices you can go here:

http://www.network-outsourcing.de/profe ... ition.html
and
http://www.network-outsourcing.de/corpo ... ition.html

click on the appropriate "Buy-Button" and you will see the prices in the currency you like.

I do have the nmidNagiosPNP plugin, which displays the Nagios graphs from the addon NagiosPNP within Cacti. For a more sophisticated integration, you should have a look at the NPC plugin: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=25902

I'm starting a series of Screencasts to show some of the functionalities of the nmidCreatePDF report generation plugin.

The first one here shows how to create a "Graph Report" and adding some graphs to it:

THey are supposed to. These are the templates used for the "Test" reports.

Like:

Code: Select all

Template + Data = Report
The templates can be custom designed using your favourite PDF capable editor ( e.g. OpenOffice or TextMaker ) and will be filled with the graphs on-the-fly resulting in the attached "Test" reports.
